Implication

Case report demonstrates successful fistula creation in a patient with radial artery anatomical variant, indicating procedural adjustments are feasible.

Key Points

The aim is to highlight the significance of anatomical variants of the radial artery in arteriovenous fistula creation for hemodialysis.
Case report detailing a 35-year-old man's ultrasound findings of the radial artery anatomy.
Description of the arteriovenous fistula creation procedure using the deep palmar branch of the radial artery.
Preoperative ultrasound identified a high division of the radial artery into superficial and deep branches.
Anastomosis was successfully performed using the deep palmar branch for the fistula.
The case suggests that identifying variants does not preclude successful radial-cephalic fistula creation.
